Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

Chapter 105: MSIN: Chapter 104



---

Haori's words were full of flaws.

His tone sounded like an old pervert with a special fetish…

But in reality, he was incredibly cautious. After saying those words, his clone stayed behind, while his main body walked towards Hiruko step by step.

Haori vaguely remembered Hiruko's abilities. Most of the time, Sasori of the Red Sand hid inside it to make up for the puppet master's lack of close-combat skills. So, considering this alone, it was clear that Hiruko was both offensive and defensive, capable of both long-range and close-range attacks. It was a very useful puppet.

Haori didn't know that this puppet was actually a modified ninja that Sasori of the Red Sand had killed. No wonder they could team up when Orochimaru went to Akatsuki. They were both modification maniacs.

Haori's main body walked towards Sasori of the Red Sand, seemingly with a relaxed, confident, and carefree attitude.

The distance of ten meters wasn't far at all.

However, the clone that remained behind moved first.

He quickly formed hand seals, not for attack, but to cancel the Summoning Jutsu!

He sent the Splitting Dog back to the summoning space, ending its suffering… In fact, the Splitting Dog's roar at this time wasn't just because it was being bound and its bones were about to break. More importantly, it was already poisoned.

Puppet masters' attack methods often involved toxins. Considering who Sasori's grandfather was, his skill in using toxins was imaginable.

So, without even thinking, Haori could tell that Hiruko's tail must be poisoned.

If it had been a ninja, they would have already collapsed if they had touched that poison. But considering the summoning beast's size, resistance, and vitality, that poison wouldn't kill the Splitting Dog for a while. Once it returned to Shikkotsu Forest, a sacred place, it would probably enter an automatic recovery stage.

That wasn't all. With a "poof," Hiruko's tail loosened, the Splitting Dog disappeared in a puff of white smoke, and Haori's next seal was already complete.

It was still Summoning Jutsu.

After completing the hand seals, the clone Haori bit his thumb, then slammed the hand with blood dripping on it onto the ground. The Eight-legged Crow was summoned again.

"Get on the bird!!"

This time, Haori didn't need to give any instructions. The rest of the team already knew what to do. Get on the dog, then get on the bird. A rich variety of transportation coordination methods.

They quickly jumped onto the bird's back. The Eight-legged Crow let out a long cry and then soared into the sky, flying directly towards the Land of Fire.

As for Sasori of the Red Sand, he didn't seem to care about the three leaving, or rather, he adopted a completely indifferent attitude.

This was related to Haori's previous words.

In fact, Haori wasn't just talking nonsense. The information he revealed in his words did make Sasori curious, and his attention was completely focused on Haori.

Firstly, Haori had actually revealed his identity. Sasori of the Red Sand had never shown himself in the form of Hiruko before. After all, this puppet was newly made.

Secondly, Haori seemed to have some knowledge of Hiruko. At least he knew that Sasori's main body was hidden inside this puppet…

This kind of thing shouldn't be known by anyone other than Sasori. Yet, this ninja not only knew, but he also seemed very certain. What was going on?

With Sasori's cautious personality, he wouldn't let Haori leave. As for the other three ninjas? They were inconsequential. He didn't have any clear purpose for attacking this Konoha team in the first place. It was just that they had appeared behind him.

He thought he could instantly kill them, but he encountered something he couldn't understand.

As the Splitting Dog disappeared and the clone Haori began his second summoning, Haori's main body wouldn't be idle.

Chidori flow activated instantly, changing direction and accelerating, charging straight at Hiruko!

Unsealed Lightning Release, this kind of jutsu would basically catch anyone who saw it for the first time off guard… Of course, ninjas who couldn't react in time and couldn't respond effectively proved that their level was just that. They would basically be killed by Chidori on the spot.

But conversely, ninjas who could dodge such a sudden attack had a certain level of skill. Sasori of the Red Sand wouldn't be instantly killed by one move. Otherwise, what would he be doing?

Chidori flow probably surprised Sasori, but only for a moment. Haori's sudden change in attack rhythm didn't actually interfere with Sasori at all.

The tail, which had lost its target, the Splitting Dog, wasn't even retracted. It flicked its tip and stabbed towards Haori.

At this time, the disadvantage of lacking perception became apparent. Haori's dynamic vision was excellent, but he didn't have the Sharingan.

When fighting ordinary ninjas, he could charge recklessly, pushing his speed to the limit without worrying. But against a Kage-level ninja like Sasori, he had to make a trade-off between speed and agility.

If he charged too fast, he might not be able to dodge in time and get grazed by Hiruko's tail. Then, he would be screwed.

And Lightning Release paralysis targeted the ninja's body. It wouldn't paralyze a puppet.

So, the question was, from a designer's perspective, did Hiruko have any insulation design? Was it insulated?

This was something to ask Sasori of the Red Sand. Of course, Haori wouldn't know, but Hiruko's tail was indeed made of metal.

"Bang!"

Haori dodged sideways. Hiruko's tail grazed his body and pierced the ground beneath his feet. At such close range, Haori could clearly see purple poison oozing from the silver ring-shaped tail.

Pushing off with his right leg, Haori dodged to the right.

The sound of "click, click, click, click" continued. Hiruko's eyes followed Haori's movements, and its mouth was already open.

Hiruko: Needle Eight Waves!

Countless poisoned needles shot out from Hiruko's mouth. Fearing the poison on them, Haori could only dodge left and right, not daring to stay in one place for even half a second. He was like a monkey.

But Haori wasn't just running around randomly. At this time, Hiruko was facing Haori's main body, and his clone was behind him.

Did Hiruko have eyes on the back of its head? Probably not. Although it did have a big face on its back.

This was a simple lure. It wasn't that Sasori was careless, but he didn't really care about a shadow clone. Besides, that shadow clone was busy sending his teammates away.

Unbeknownst to him, Haori's efficiency was extremely high. The moment Sasori turned around, the clone not only sent his teammates away, but he had already completed his third seal.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

Direct hit!

The scorching flames instantly engulfed Hiruko!

Of course, Haori didn't expect to defeat Sasori of the Red Sand with just one move. He didn't know if Hiruko was insulated, but it was definitely fireproof.

After releasing the Fire Release, the clone Haori didn't pursue but retreated directly!

The Fire Release hadn't dissipated yet. Hiruko would naturally counterattack. The tail, like a silver chain, swung towards the clone Haori!

Straight and fast!

But no matter how far the tail could extend, it had its limits. It couldn't reach the retreating clone.

This maximum extension couldn't be retracted immediately, and Haori was waiting for this moment!

Chidori Sharp Spear slashed down from above.

Hiruko's tail snapped in two.

To be honest, he thought this poisoned tail was quite tricky, so he prioritized cutting it.

Why did Haori dare to leave Sasori behind? Judging from their absolute strength, it was clear who was stronger.

But on second thought, hey, it seemed like his fighting style was a bit counter-effective against Sasori?

500 years of nurturing, just to counter you... Fate, huh.
